First, sure, he's a dumbass. And we can hope he's a one-off, a particularly egregious fluke...but...probably not. After Trump got elected, it hit me: his base voted for equally awful George W. Bush...but probably thought he was a little too, you know, soft and sophisticated.

Which means...we either have to outvote them...or accept that a fair number of our fellow citizens are way too comfortable with casual fascism...well, for my tastes.

For small fingers, small credit: Trump HAS managed to turn the GOP into his personal cult, and it's clear the midterms will be a referendum on the Trump Cult.

Persuasion won't work, they've gone all in with their preferred bigot...we either outvote them or accept that we live amongst brain-dead racists.

Remember, Trump won the election but lost the vote. He's in office on a technicality.

And...lord knows what Mueller will reveal, but that will only further solidify the cultists, for whom Trump -- fucking Donald J. Trump -- will be their martyr. Only martyr I'm aware of with dictator chic taste (Saddam Hussein had the same preferences, but did anyone give a shit about him?).
